Many people are totally clueless about catching trouts. For the best part, it comes from the fact that they give up too soon if they don't catch a dream fish in their first trips. A common way to think about trout fishing is that it is some kind of art or science. This is false. Catching a trout is quite simple.
Catching a trout is simple in the way that it doesnt require a lot of different skills and techniques. It does however require some. On the other hand, whether or not you catch a trout depends a lot on factors that you cannot control. As an example, there is always easier to catch a fish when they are hunting their prey actively.
Good times to fish is when insects hatch. At these times the fish can virtually go nuts and this is when you should be around. Of course even at these times you are put to the test, because the fish has so much food to choose from. And why should it choose the one that is attached to your line?
This is where the number one skill that a good fisherman must have comes in, patience. Fishing is all about finding the right spots at the right time. This requires a lot of research and there is an advantage if you know the place you are fishing well.
Of course, fishing involves a bit of luck, but in the long run you will always be better of with experience and knowledge.
Most people still use the old worm on a hook technique. This technique has worked for thousands of years, and for a reason. It is very effective! It seems as the trout cannot resist these things.
Fishing with worms might seem easy, but many still do it wrong. The most common error is that they put too many worms on the hook. When the worms are crowded like this on the hook, they cannot move. And then the point of using worms have disappeared.
Fishing with a lure is probably more action packed that fishing with worms. When the fish bites, you really feel the heat! Try to choose a lure that is very similar to a natural prey of the trout. Find both the right colors, the right size and the right movement. Always try to make you lure move like an injured fish if you can.
If this doesnt work, you have to change your strategy. Usually the complete opposite is what will do best. Try to imitate nothing at all! Use lures with colors that doesnt look like anything that lives in the lake or river. This can often do the trick.
The last advice is quite simply: variation. If one thing doesnt work, try something else.
